-- silly skipback functionality (http://archive.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?threadid=54658)

It's good to hear that this is kind-of fixed in 2.5, except I think there shouldn't be any skipback at all instead of just ending up back where you started.


Auto-correction (Skipback) is one of the selling points I use for TiVo. Otherwise, you see your show and go "oh sh**" and have to rewind, then fast forward, then play. Way too time intensive.

If you are unhappy with the default Auto-correction (as many of us are), change it!



WARNING!

If you blow up your TiVo or your house, home theater equipment, etc. with these instructions, it's not my fault. These are unsupported BACKDOOR instructions which modify your TiVo in what could be considered unpredictable ways.

Due to the graphic nature of these instructions, viewer discretion is advised.
